my gaming taste has definitely changed a lot over the years. I started out playing games like Resident Evil and Tomb raider with my mom. Then I moved onto story driven games such as Gta and Red dead, then ofc I went to the shooter games, which I miss so much. I miss being able to dominate in cod. Y’all I was so good idk what happened to me LOL I think I’ve just lost motivation as I’ve gotten older. I tend to go for more chill, laid back games now. Some examples would be no man’s sky ofc , grounded and I’ve been rocking on fortnite festival 😭 I really hope I can find motivation to get better again at fps games and battle royale games. I used to have so much fun on them when I was actually good at it

I used to want to play ever game that launched, and would have the hours to do so, but not the funds to buy the games.

And whilst I'm still far from being able to afford every game, I can afford more than I could previously. The issue is now time! With family, work and other commitments it's hard to find 40-60 hours to sink into a single-player title time and time again.

That said, I tend to use games as a social platform to meet with friends when we can't get together IRL and catch up. Usually using the game as the vehicle for that, so it's less important about what the game is and more about the company. Which does mean live-service titles are a bit more of a staple as it gives us an ongoing goal to work towards together which having downtime and the grind to chit chat in between!

Growing up as a kid, I never had access to online games and was content with just a small little Xbox sitting next to the old DLP TV - back when they still had the "Blades" dashboard (Surely there's some others that remember this)

And the very first game that I loaded into that bad boy was Forza Motorsport 2.

Wow. Just wow. My younger self was mesmerized, driving around and around in circles and going backwards on the track back into the other cars merely out of spite after I spun out.

I became a bit of an addict. Every time I got back from school, I was right onto Forza Motorsport, trying to get a better time; I raced lap after lap after lap, dedicated to finding a better path. I was addicted to racing games and nothing would stop me from getting the best hotlap.

But eventually, as we all know, 2007 - 2008 was the golden year of game releases and boy was I absolutely stoked - I had just saved up all my money and was heading down to the local Video EZY (Surely someone else remembers this) to pick up a copy of Halo 3 & Rainbow Six Vegas with my dad. We took the games home, sat down on the couch with our brand new LCD tv and booted it up... Crickey did I suck yet again, but that was the most fun I've ever played. Nothing I can play to this day will ever come close to the amount of fun I had before.

Unfortunately for me, the next year, my brother would pass away in a critical accident and I became a bit of a hermit, playing solely shooter games to relieve myself from the stress. Bang bang, boom boom.... it was all I knew for a massively long time. I had gained a fair bit of weight then too, and my life was going downhill from the massive chunk that was taken out.

I remained this way for a long time, until something came out... something so similar to the Wii, yet unique and different.

The Xbox Kinect.

Now this thing was something else - Kinect sports and the new dashboard? I was thrilled! I played kinect sports until I almost dropped out of exhaustion, and surprisingly, I managed to get into peak physical condition from all that squatting, jumping and kicking

With this "revolutionary" piece of equipment, I had all the power in my hands - Literally!

This started my kinect phase, where I solely played kinect games, used the kinect to traverse the menus... even Forza Motorsport 4, steering with just my hands! (Look ma! No hands! was an achievement back then)

Eventually, I moved off of that after finding out about the PC. This changed everything up so much - I could do so much more with the PC's keyboard and mouse... and from there, I found the game Settlers and Age of Empires, which started my strategy phase. I just couldn't get enough of the strategy games - Empire Earth, Settlers, AoE, Warcraft (Reign of Chaos was my favourite) - This also paved the way for me to start playing chess competitively before winning a national competition! (Well, I came second tied, but c'mooon, what's one point)

Now, I'm absolutely stuck on 3 games - War Thunder, Lethal Company and iRacing

I guess I've taken a taste of all the flavours out for offer and found my taste - Neapolitan, all of them!

I still play some of the old games for a nostalgic hit, and my Xbox 360 is still purring in perfect condition to this date, with the controller's backing being taped up... but nothing will ever replace those memories and the path of games I followed.

I would say my tastes have deffo varied over the years, but not so much as to cause major shifts, it's always been FPS, open-world, RTS stuff.

I am very predictable as a gamer :P

I don't think many of my gaming preferences have changed, but perhaps more of how I go to play them? I've always enjoyed playing lots of FPS titles, survivial, MMO's, and things like that! However, one title that I always use to play was League of Legends and I haven't touched that game for quite a few years, mainly due to it's toxic playing nature. Certainly a game with requires great friendship and teamwork which many lack, but the way those games are built are quite negative relationships. Although the other titles of FPS and survivial, fantasy games I still play, I play a lot more for fun and won't try to let anyone spoil my time. If someone is spoiling my fun I always mute my team or opposing team where I can just focus on my game and how I'm playing. I've definitely moved away from that competitive feel. Don't get me wrong I like to win like all of us do, but it's not the end of the world if we lose a couple.
